A quirky roadside natural-history museum built inside a large Navajo sandstone cave five miles north of Kanab on US-89. Run by the same local family since 1951, it packs in dinosaur tracks, one of the largest fluorescent mineral displays in the U.S., Native American artifacts, and memorabilia from its past life as a dance hall and speakeasy-style tavern.
